It is asking for premier SR or something. I had my disks but probably buried somewhere at moms house, who knows where. I just wondered why installing that other version hosed it up cause I know it did. I may break down and try installing the 2007 again and NOT install anything BUT powerpoint and word, no excell yet, no access, no outlook or other mess. Im a bit shaky though after the other night ;0 and not in the mood for a repeat performance tonight of that ;0. When I am less tired, I would like to inquire more on how you do what you said below about having it on the hard drive available. I sis uaw poqwepoinr 2003 at work today and did the ole pack and go actually called (package CD) on that version, worked like a charm except a popup came up saying macros would not be enabled when packaged this way.."sigh". I'm just going to send the powers to be a link to the 60 day trial of the full version and let them go at it. lol..it is is not good enough, oh well that is all I can offer at this point, have exhausted all other options christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gman" <gman.pctt@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 8:20 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: winzip question Office's Add/Remove entry has its own repair utility, but it relies on you being able to supply the original install disk so it can copy files it needs to make those repairs. Any way you can get ahold of an Office 2000 install disk? It would need to be of the same type as the one you have installed (student, pro, premier, etc.). You don't need or want the lender's install serial number (that would be illegal), but all of the install disks of a single type are identical. If you can find someone who has the same version/type, you can copy the entire contents to your hard drive and direct the registry to that so that it's always available. I do this with my OS install disks, so I'm never asked to "insert Windows install disk". :) Peace, Gman http://www.bornagainamerican.org "The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask" ----- Original Message ----- From: "cristy" <poppy0206@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 7:59 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: winzip question > When I had installed and uninstalled the microsoft office pro plus 2007, > it > has now "hosed up" my old microsoft word from my 2000 version.
